If I could have just one question answered in my whole life, it would be…
You know, I’ve wondered something for a few years now… Don’t laugh, but I wonder: What was the first person who discovered humans could drink Cow’s Milk actually trying to do? I assume that as drinking milk is now considered ‘normal’ nobody thinks about it - but I do…
That sick individual must have seen a Cow standing there, saw a calf feeding and decided to give it a go! How sick is that!?
My second query - and an extension to the query above - is this: Did this same individual attempt to milk a Bull, too?
Makes you think, huh? All these things we do today, if we were around when they were first done, would we think they were disgusting? Or those first magician’s, would we think they were just people capable of tricks, or witches? Come to think of it, I think I just figured the whole Bible thing out.

I think it was just instincts. Humans have always known that the female of the species makes milk in its breasts. Well, human, 2 tits, cow, more than 2 tits. And not just cows, goats and donkeys give milk to humans too.

Can you imagine if something like that was ‘discovered’ today?

I’m guessing that all domesticated mammals are milked - except for the pig. What I think is that the cow, goat and sheep are big enough milk producers that people probably thought “why bother with the pig too?” Or else maybe it’s teats were too close to the ground to make it convenient to milk them.
Ah, I looked up at http://www.freeukdatingsite.com/Thoughts5.asp (a dating site??) and it’s that they don’t have udders, rather they have simple teats.

In the dawn light of an early morning I once saw a fox in the distance. The fox was drinking from a cow that had lost its calf.
They both seemed mutually satisfied, the cow with its head round looking at the fox and the fox with its head up sucking from the cow.
I think they got the instincts right.
